The legislation ends a three-day federal shutdown with funding through September 30, while DHS receives a short-term extension for contentious immigration talks.
On February 3, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a government spending bill to end the partial shutdown that began January 31. The measure funds most federal departments through September 30 and grants the Department of Homeland Security an additional two weeks of funding to continue negotiations over disputed immigration policies. The shutdown arose from disagreements over DHS funding provisions, and this bill marks a temporary resolution pending further talks.
